Dreamville artist and Charlotte native Lute, who recently released his single, “GED (Gettin Every Dolla),” will also perform at halftime. “I think that this Dreamville and Hornets collab is really dope and would mean a lot to the city and the culture,” said Lute. “Growing up, I remember the Hornets would always connect with people in the community; whether it be players shooting hoops with kids at the park or your favorite player coming to the barbershop.  It’s a fitting collab because we share the same principles.”

“We are excited to collaborate with Dreamville Records to give away a co-branded T-shirt for our March 7 game,” said Hornets President & Vice Chairman Fred Whitfield.  “As North Carolina’s NBA team, we are pleased to have the opportunity to partner with one of our state’s most prominent performers in J. Cole, who is a friend to our team and enjoys representing the Hornets brand.”
